She went the half in 47 4/5 and 111 3/5ths.........I dont see how that would not be overcome by a horse in form, now she faded but thats not crazy pace. In fact those are about the fractions of a 2 year old filly who ended up winning earlier. Fast yes, crazy fall apart fast for the middle of the pack, I just see it different. I think the best horse, on this surface, won.

you are right, that horse loves the track. but, i still disagree about the pace. the second and third quarter were as fast or faster than the sprint run minutes before. when the horses caught up to the loose horse there was still alot of race left. by the end there were 6 tired horse and two that were still running. when 6 out of eight horses are "dead" on their feet halfway down the stretch i think the pace took something out of them. you are right though, that horse could of been bet, i didn't like her.
